'Lil Fran Huck was a slick center who toiled for the Winnipeg Jets and the Minnesota Fighting Saints. Huck's best WHA season came with the Jets in 1973-74 (26-48-74 in 74 games). Despite this success he was peddled to Minnesota upon the arrival of Ulf Nilsson and Veli Ketola prior to the 74-75 season.

Huck had a strong 1972-73 season for the St. NHL Louis Blues but was lured by the big payday of the WHA.
